Thu, 22 Jun 2017 05:06:38 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.com/?p=317#comment-155To start we are more or less a monthly podcast but have sporadically done more than one episode a month and this month will definitely have more content and it will be varied.

Next part not one of us said we were BJCP certified but some of us have judged in competitions with BJCP judges and we have also talked to many breweries that have received score cards back that say not to style and a horrible rating but not other cause. We are not talking just appearance. It is both aroma and flavour to mouthfeel. In a competition that I judged this year two BJCP judges wanted the North East IPA’s taken out of the contest as they did not fit into the IPA or other categories in the completion. Not just the look of them but the flavour was a big one for them as it was not bitter like the accepted American IPA. The mouthfeel was also off to them. If it was not for the other judges that wanted it to stay in the competition it would not have won the best of show on the merits it was the best beer that was sampled. It came down to one beer that was bang on to style guidlines and the beer that was by for more interesting, flavourful and aromatic. To say that a beer should win because it stays to a rigid guideline flies in the face of what craft beer is all about. Experimentation.

The reason to ask for more clarification on your point was that your argument was non existent. It was a statement against our opinions which are held by many in the craft beer industry on both the brewery and drinker side.

The BJCP is a great learning tool but it stifles what makes this beer next level.

Thanks for checking us out and thanks for your friend passing on the link to start a dialog.

Thu, 22 Jun 2017 01:55:24 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.com/?p=317#comment-154Question 1. I don’t know why my friend sent me a link to thing. Not sure if it’s a one off or a weekly etc

Question 2- opinions are fine but they should be supported by facts Example. Suggesting a beer submitted as a blonde that was black would get docked a tonne of points is factually incorrect. Appearance is 3 points out of 50. In my opinion 6% is not substantial. As the speaker was presenting himself as an authority on the limitations of a BJCP event I would think he would know how a judging form scoresheet is structured in a competition.

In that vein my assessment of the opinions expressed were weak along with other arguments presented against them. By weak I mean not strong enough to stand up to the gentlest rigor of a counter argument. (None of course was Provided). i don’t see this as anything to be offended about, it’s a view of your opinion, not you.

The purpose of my post was to start a conversation that provided a counter view to what was discussed. Mission accomplished.

Fri, 13 Jan 2017 21:53:27 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.wordpress.com/?p=178#comment-119[…] From Twin Sails Brewing in Port Moody comes their “Hot Take Zero IBU IPA”. This IPA has zero IBU do to adding all the hops after the boil. The beer pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. The aroma consists of tons of tropical very juicy fruits, sweetness and floral hops. The flavour is of mango, pineapple, citrus, juicy, caramel with floral and herbal hops but absolutely no bitterness. The alcohol content comes in at 7% with an IBU of 0. This is a really tasty beer but will be very confusing for people that expect a bitter beer when they drink an IPA. Keep up the amazing experimentation Twin Sails! This beer is discussed on the new IPA episode of Pacific Beer Chat. […]

Fri, 13 Jan 2017 03:32:08 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.wordpress.com/?p=178#comment-118[…] From Boombox Brewing located at Callister Brewing in East Vancouver comes their”EZ Duz It IPA” and East Coast IPA. The beer pours a cloudy yellow colour with a white head. The aroma consists of juicy fruit notes including tropical fruits, pineapple and a floral hops finish. The flavour is of tropical fruits, mango, pineapple, citrus and citrus peel, mild malts, pine and bitterness. This beer has a chewy body like most of the cloudy East Coast IPA’s. The alcohol content comes in at 6.7%. While Boombox Brewing is already known for making great East Coast Style IPA’s this one seems to build on that reputation. This beer discussed on the latest episode of Pacific Beer Chat. […]

Tue, 02 Jun 2015 23:55:45 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.wordpress.com/?page_id=1#comment-45Hi Dave
We are trying to get something together for late tomorrow night. In truth it should have been last week but my schedule as well as others just wouldn’t work. We hope to work up to a live broadcast in the future but we are all new to Google Hangouts, the recording software and podcasts in general. For the most part we are all used to the written word side of it with the exception of Joe as he does all kinds of radio and tv spots and interviews.

Thu, 09 Apr 2015 06:36:47 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.com/?p=47#comment-20Its pretty easy to do an audio only version just minimize the video. Personally I do not and could not listen to an audio only podcast very long. Video is more engaging. Every liquor store and agent I talk to is just as confused as everyone else right now as the BC government is not disclosing all of the information. The actual total tax percentage just came up in conversation and we didn’t know. It was not planned.

Thu, 09 Apr 2015 06:30:07 +0000http://pacificbeerchat.com/?p=47#comment-19You really should do an audio only version of this podcast. Not saying you guys have ‘faces for radio’, but it doesn’t need the video with it.

Also, if you plan to talk about things like the taxation issue, do some research first.
